Hi

My current stats are:

Vit = 101 (inc equip adj)
Magic = 291 (inc equip adj)
Str = 43
Dex = 8 (inc equip adj) 5 without
Magic Damage unbuffed is 4133 - 4184
Using Acalanthea wand +5 (I think)
I only PvE and do TT, FB, BH and quests.

Is it worth sacrificing Vit for Magic and if so how much?

Any suggestions about lev 80 weapon?

    I think 100 Vit is ok, if not too much. Most hybrid builds says someting between 50-80 Vit is ok to prevent 1-hit kill and AoE deaths.

    I recommend start adding all point into Mag, and into Dex and Str just when needed to equip the highest armor/weapon to your current level.

    Oh, and to do that I also recommend to take off all equipment that gives stat bonus when you are placing the stat points (all the stat numbers must be white and not green). Is quite annoying to find you can't use your brand new 2* magic weapon because your realize your older weapon was givin' you +1 Dex after you spent all the points and you can't do anything 'bout that b:angry

    And for lvl 80 armor, I can't say anythin' cause I'm still a low lvl cleric. But I guess they're gonna say a TT80 refined magic weapon would do the trick.

    I think the choice should be between:

    Yaksa (sword)
    http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/14904

    Medium degree between minimum and maximum m.atk values. Nice addons (++ phys.defense is always good, +12-13 MAG can make the difference in your lvls and +1% crt.rate is always wellcome i think)


    Acalantha (wand)
    http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/14916

    Lowest degree between minimum and maximum m.atk values. This is very good i think, cause it grants constant damages dealt. Addons are cool too, +12-13 MAG like Yaksa's, +12-13 VIT (+120-130 HP always very useful to clerics) and an increase in maximum m.atk (that only lighty increase the degree between minimum and maximum).


    Wheel of Life (glaive)
    http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/14917 wheel of life

    The highest degree between minimum and maximum m.atk values that can lead to very high hits but also to very low ones. If you feel to be lucky, this can be good :P generally i prefer to have the safety of a low degree = constant damages. Addons in my opinion are the worst, +12-13MAG like the other, +12-13 DEX that's quiete useless if you are not a LA Cleric, and +70 m.atk (this is pretty good but in overall addons of the other weapons seems to be better).



    I think these 3 are the most common-used lvl 80 magic weapons. In my opinion, Yaksa is the best choice, it has the most useful addons and the degree between maximum and minimum m.atk is low but also permits to hope in some lucky high hits.


    PS. i hope i havent said too many noobities :P

    The acalantha wand is a lvl70 eq, the only TT wand you can get at 80 is the gold TT sunflame: acalantha wand. There is also the endless ambiguity which I would say is probably the MOST popular hh80 weapon.

    Your stats are fine, only add the occasional str and add th rest into mag, u probs have enough vit.

    What about the Sakra-devanam-Lundra using etacombes fansite character thing I put in my level and base stats which gave a base magic attack of 190-190

    I then added weapons and it gave the following results:

    Endless ambiguity 2944 - 3988

    Yaksa 3042 - 3644 +1% Critical

    Sakra 3218 - 3801 +2% critical

    Wheel of Life 3022 - 4230

    Alacantha Sunflame 3313 - 3801

    In an ideal world surly my weapon of choice would be the Sakra?

    the only thing with the sakra is that it is expensive, and if u plan on hitting 90 u will have to remake a whole new weapon..

    We I intend to hand my weapons down to my veno so will have to buy anyway.

    When I got my TT 60 & 70 weapons there were plenty of ready made ones and materials.

    I, so far, have been unable to find any TT80 weapons and mats are scarce too

    In my opinion, Yaksa is the best choice, it has the most useful addons and the degree between maximum and minimum m.atk is low but also permits to hope in some lucky high hits.

    I went with the Yaksa for the above reasons, and had to remake a TT80 for my TT90, but as I also have a lower lvl veno I was able to pass down the yaksa so it wasn't a loss.

    Another note, you can get a tome with only magic on it, to help increase that stat while keeping your vit.
